Functions
Antifoaming
Antimicrobial
Keeps your product from growing bacteria, mold, or yeast. Without these, that jar of cream becomes a petri dish in about a week.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Solvent
Dissolves other ingredients so they distribute evenly in the formula. Often the invisible "base" everything else is mixed into.
Viscosity Controlling
Controls excess oil
Fights acne
Causing bacteria
Minimizes pores
Traditional Use
Ethanol denatured with additives like bitrex to make it undrinkable, introduced in the early 20th century to avoid alcohol taxes. Used in cosmetics as a preservative and solvent.
